Paul, I am quite aware that there are many Christians that accept the evolution story , but I am sure that if I asked you what you think the bible actually says, I doubt that you would tell me that it says that billions of years ago nothing exploded. Etc etc. I suspect that the Christians who accept the secular story do so believing science demonstrates it's veracity , and are imposing that on what the text actually says. When someone can actually demonstrate that the evolutionary story is true, I shall have no more to say on the subject. ......I won't hold my breath !    Of course many of those Christians also don't hold all the narrative text to be dependable. I do , and I shall leave the others to speak for themselves.
